After spending a year in a protein biochemistry lab, I decided that this
year I would approach a field that is closer to my heart. Nicknamed
'Bugs' as a child, I've always been fond of insects and I have a small
collection of local species that I've picked up over the last couple of
years. In my honours thesis project this year I'll be working on the
cold-tolerance strategy of Point Pelee & Toronto termites and will
try to predict their invasiveness potential for the rest of Ontario.
